Virtual keys per tenant: ditching our custom LLM billing layer
Nexus Labs has transitioned from a complex Python middleware system to using Bifrost's virtual keys for managing LLM costs and operations. This change has significantly reduced the codebase and improved latency in processing requests. However, challenges remain in migrating legacy data and ensuring the reliability of semantic caching.
- ▪The previous system consisted of 11,247 lines of Python middleware for LLM cost attribution and management.
- ▪The new setup with Bifrost has reduced the codebase to 4,108 lines and improved latency from 47ms to 8ms.
- ▪Migration to the new system presented challenges, particularly in mapping legacy data to the new virtual key metadata.

Replaced about 60% of it with Bifrost's virtual keys and governance features. Some honest gaps remain, which is why this is a writeup and not a sales pitch. The setup we inherited Nexus Labs runs enterprise agent automation.
